serendipity finds you when u need it most… which i suppose is the definition of serendipity. find and recognize ur worth as an individual and worker by upgrading ur job to something cooler better and higher paying, when the opportunity allows it. or perhaps not even when it allows it, but when it HINTS at the potential of change….. shoutout to the new year🩵

just because it’s a dead end job, it doesn’t mean you gotta die there 🤔 think of it more as the wrong path in the capitalistic maze called surviving in the usa. even if you have to make a lateral move to another similar dumb job, the change of scenery and personnel can really be refreshing, and if new job sucks you can just quit and do it all over again…

I’ve quit at least 4 horrible jobs/contracts without something immediately lined up (that I can think of off the top of my head). And wow every time that was the best decision for me each and every time and I never looked back.
Granted I’ve otherwise had long tenure at jobs and was lucky enough to either find another opportunity right away (in one case quit before hearing back about an interview the previous day, which I did end up getting) or I was financially prepared to be unemployed. As others have said, definitely consider that you’re trading daily misery + salary, health care, stability, stuff to do with your day for no misery + logistical challenges.
But if you are prepared to deal with job searching or just supporting yourself for a bit from your savings while you get on your feet, pls pls pls leave a job that is making you miserable and has no chance of getting any better (burnout is often defined as being in a situation where you have some combination of no upward mobility, continued frustration from the same sources, and endless work all without signs that it’ll get better, so look out for the signs).
Man this rec is giving me the ole itch again (current job is pretty bad in a lot of ways, but not quite “leave immediately” status and I do need a salary + healthcare after a long unemployment period last year 😿).
